''This page is about the various demonspawn [[monster]]s. For the player species, see [[demonspawn]].''
{{flavour|A half-mortal, half-demonic creature, with its hellish heritage asserting itself through a certain devilish cast to its features.}}

'''Demonspawn''' are the accursed offspring of [[demon]]s and mortals, seemingly ordinary in youth, but gradually showing more and more of their infernal heritage as they grow. These beings wander the halls of [[Pandemonium]], serving the [[Pandemonium lord]]s and assaulting anyone foolish enough to invade.

Unlike their demonic brethren, demonspawn lack any guaranteed immunities; [[poison]] and [[negative energy]] affect them like they would any mortal being (though all have [[torment]] immunity and corrupters have rN+++). They have occupations that enhance their deadliness. The sheer variety of demonspawn you can encounter requires you to be ready for a little bit of everything, though they are by no means the most dangerous inhabitants of Pandemonium.

==Base Demonspawn==
{{Brown|6}} [[File: Demonspawn (monster).png]] '''[[Demonspawn (monster)|Demonspawn]]''' - Basic demonspawn without an occupation. A somewhat dangerous melee enemy, at least for the [[Orcish Mines]].

==Demonspawn Occupations==
{{monsterlink|Demonspawn blood saint}}- Demonspawn that can temporarily bolster their allies and hurl wild blasts of magic at their foes.

{{monsterlink|Demonspawn soul scholar}}- Powerful necromancers that enable their allies' attacks to drain various energies from their foes.

{{monsterlink|Demonspawn warmonger}}- Powerful warriors who can suppress enemy spellcasters while hasting their allies.

{{monsterlink|Demonspawn corrupter}}- Demonspawn that corrode their enemies and call powerful monsters from elsewhere in the dungeon.

==Unique Demonspawn==
{{monsterlink|Amaemon}} - A diabolic poisoner with a venomous whip and retinue of toxic friends.

==Retired Demonspawn==

{{monsterlink|Infernal demonspawn}}- Fiery demonspawn who infuse their attacks with flames and shrug off your own [[fire]]-based attacks.

{{monsterlink|Gelid demonspawn}}- Icy demonspawn that protect themselves with their [[icemail]] and resist [[cold]] damage well.

{{monsterlink|Monstrous demonspawn}}- Bestial demonspawn who throw themselves into combat in a frenzy of claws and horns. They have more durability than their brethren and deal more damage in melee.

{{monsterlink|Torturous demonspawn}}- [[Spiny|Spine-covered]] demonspawn who wound those who attack them and grow stronger as they take damage.

{{monsterlink|Putrid demonspawn}}- Foul-smelling demonspawn that drew strength from the corpses of the fallen; they were nearly immune to [[poison]].

{{monsterlink|Chaos champion}}- Unpredictable combatants that smote opponents with [[chaos]] and could shuffle the positions of all creatures nearby.
